Biochemical Studies of the CTCF Insulator Protein: Determination of Protein Interactions with CTCF using Tandem Affinity Purification, Characterization of its Post-translational Modification by the Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier Proteins and Studies of CTCF DNA Looping Ability

The CTCF protein is involved in several important aspects of gene regulation including transcriptional activation, transcriptional repression and insulator ability. It is also involved in the regulation of epigenetic processes including X-chromosome inactivation and the maintenance of genomic impri...
